Do purses equal tools? (16)
to my significant future other >>>>>> if you think you want a new purse you just hustle yer bunns down to the purse storean get what you like as long as it aint bustin the budget ,,,get one that is big enough to carry a cresen t wrench in case the pickup breaks down ,,,,my aunt was a skinny little girl back in about 56 her purse would hold <<by actual measure>>>26 long neck beers ,she was kind of skrauny and she drove a gravel truck no power steer back then ,,thats probably why she could pack a load like that yeeeeaaaaaayyyy aunt ruth
Can you make money with a purse...will that purse fix the abode you reside in when something goes wrong?
Hmmm...I thought not.
Hmmm...I thought not.
eyesthatknowwhy: Every time I go to Winners a force pulls me to the purse display - so I go and I browse and... I want a new purse ; I don't need a new purse I just really would like a nice purse - not shoes; I would in fact go barefoot if I could have a really nice purse....Anyways, I was having a talk with myself and said "what the hell do you need another purse for." To which a reply came from the other side of the display rack "What the hell do they need another tool for?" We giggled, a sisterhood bond formed...and I said, I would never know if he bought new tools - he will know I have a new purse, he notices these things
Hmmm...got me to thinking and was a topic of conversation tonight. He says, each tool has a specific purpose...but each purse does the same thing....I say, my winter coats are black and my purse is brown...I think I need a black purse....He laughs and says, oh yeah, I need a new set of screwdrivers cuz the handle don't match my tool box...and on we went, in a good natured banter. Yes, I will probably get a new purse and that is okay....but this really got me to thinking about how we, as opposite genders, look at things, just general things in different ways.

I am so grateful Eyes said that.... I avoid the bag/purse section ... it's too tempting and I might want to try another bag to see if it will be better than the one I'm using.
So far there are only 2 of us bag ladies eyes.... will any others step forward

The only difference between a woman's purse and men's pockets are...we can't leave our pockets behind....as far as tools go..how many borrowed tools do you have?Hmmm...got me to thinking and was a topic of conversation tonight.

I love purses, I only use one for a short while then I get a new one
eyesthatknowwhy: For sure - I understand the tool thing - but lets be honest - perhaps you purchase that which you all ready have but "must" improve upon for various reasons?
I really want (almost neeeeed) the Cuisinart mixer/blender/food processor everything!!! I have all three separate - think of the space I would save and the creations!! I found this store here, Nutters, that has the most incredible doodads - mortar and pestle, rasp, hand juicer...fabulous stuff. And a good knife...no words!!!
The bag ...hmmm, I compromised and bought a new wallet - better than my other one - matches my purse.... Maybe I can find a scarf with the right colours, that can "tie" it all together?

Yeah, some tools are like that, cordless drills especially, but in all fairness, new batteries for the old ones are almost as much money as replacing the drill itself with a new one. I bought myself a pair of 18 volt lithium ion Makita drills a year ago.
Adding a cordless reciprocating saw soon, as well as a spare battery. Not sure what I'm going to do with the box of old drills, there must be 7 or 8 of them in there, along with a pile of dead batteries and chargers.
Why can't anyone build a decent toaster? The only good one I've ever had the pleasure of using was a Hobart commercial unit, and I can't afford to buy one. Getting tired of euthanising the cheap ones.

Complete "I hear you" about the toasters. Love the ones in restaurants - put the bread in one side of the belt, out she shoots as toast at the other - pricey and big! I go through toasters fairly quickly too, expensive/cheap/2 and 4 slice...no matter 
When I smoked, I probably burnt out many of them lighting smokes I am still looking for a coffee pot that can stand the test of time - seriously thinking of bringing out the aluminum perk from the camping dishes...Not getting a new purse, will use the nice black one I bought in the summer - decided to spend the money on getting my nails done
I have a comment.
I need a purse for my tools. And, need them to match the color of each tool. I also need a cute girl who matches my purse with the tools in it.
It's so simple.

It does sound simple, but often, according to Murphy's :aw, the simplest things in life are often the most difficult. But...perhaps you have revealed a bit of a "man secret"? You want your own "tool girl" <<grunt, grunt ala Tim the tool man Taylor>>

That would be Murphy's Law, for the editing police 
I have these new Gel nails and typing has become a challenge to say the least...

A perculator still makes the best coffee. My dad still uses his old stainless steel one every day and has never had a coffee maker. He takes his coffee pretty seriously and takes a thermos full wherever he goes.
I bought an Oster coffee maker 3 years ago and it still works great, although it wasn't cheap. I don't see any point in buying junk though, same goes for tools.
My parents received a toaster as a wedding gift, and it lasted for 30 years before the Bakelite (plastic) finally got so brittle that it fell apart. Why can't I find one of those old chrome dinosaurs somewhere?
The one I have now either barely warms the bread, or turns it into charcoal. What's the point in having any adjustments if they don't work? It does have some nice LED's on it though, looks cool.

Sears Catalog Kid, awesome selection of Retro chrome toasters - can hardly go wrong with the Cuisinart line - love my Griddler! But beware...the force may suck you it.Talking about your mom and dad's toaster reminds me of the one my grandparents were using not so long ago - one of those chrome flip ones - slice on each side...with a cloth cord no less
Did a fabulous job though.Confession: My waffle Iron is one my Grandpa bought in the mid 40's. I still use it, although the handle is broken and it is very heavy and gets sooooo hot. It has the cloth cord as well. I just continue to use it because I can make the best waffles with it...do what ya gotta do
i havent seen any of those thin slice toasters for years ,,just those thicky slice ones ,, they dont do as nice a job i beleive
eyesthatknowwhy: the force may suck you it.
I mean - the force may suck you in or 
pick one kidatheart: Can you make money with a purse...will that purse fix the abode you reside in when something goes wrong?Hmmm...I thought not.
I have to agree with you on this one as I do my own repairs around the house. My best investments have been in tools. I guess I am a little more practical.
